#ClassroomMath #mtbos

I think I’m going to start reading ***math teacher blogs*** again. But so many of the ones I used to follow have become fallow —so I’ve deleted them and now I have almost none left. Maybe I’m one of the few left (and I know I’ve posted very little since the pandemic started).

Do you still read math teaching blogs?
Do you still write a math teacher blog?

I’m throwing together a very simple spreadsheet looking for blogs/people to follow! I’d love if you add yourself or anyone you read!

@samjshah hubs asked me this week if we are going to do Blaugust this year... Not sure I'm up for that but maybe a weekly challenge to reignite the community like you did with the virtual conference?

@druinok ooh want to plan something together? I love the idea of once a week. That feels manageable!

@samjshah not sure... But with the renewed community here, it would be a decent time to try to get blogging back up as well

@druinok let me know if you are interested after you think on it then! I’m totally game since getting back to blogging is on my goals! ❤️

@samjshah I think it's a great idea. My biggest concern is just time... I go back in 3 weeks, so not sure how much time I would have to help with planning. I would definitely participate though!

@druinok understood.

Is your thinking one blog post a week for all of august? And we have sample prompts to help people if they can’t think of what to blog about? I think I can easily pull that together - and we can post about it here with a hashtag? Any other thoughts before I pull something together?

It kinda reminds of me this except the goal of the project isn’t to start blogging but to get back to blogging. https://samjshah.com/2012/08/06/new-blogger-initiation-pledge-by-tuesday-august-14th/

New Blogger Initiation! Pledge by Tuesday, August 14th.

An Idea! For a few weeks now, I have had this idea bouncing around in my head. A new blogger initiation! All it involves is writing four blogposts. There will be no hazing of any kind, except for t…

@samjshah I had totally forgotten about the NBI!!!

I loved reading those blogs and writing a short summary!

But yes, I was thinking a post a week wouldn't feel overwhelming but that's literally as far as I had thought about it until you posted about a blog reader.
